I cant say enough about Dan. He came and figured out a pretty rare problem, then on top of that he talked to the manufacturer and got us a whole new HVAC unit due to our warranty. I would highly recommend him for anyone with HVAC issues!

These guys are great! Showed up same day as requested and allowed me to observe their work on our HVAC. I've had some bad experience with another company and wanted to try to learn myself so I can be more educated with our units. Within 10 minutes, they found the problem, fixed it and even offered to come back on short notice should the issue re-surface. Pricing is a premium to other vendors on TT ($110 vs $80 hr) , but WELL worth it! Will 100% be using these guys in future for HVAC & Boiler needs.

Our HVAC has stopped working and we wanted it to be fixed ASAP on a weekend. Mark came to our home within 20 mins of contacting him. Mark identified the issue with power circuit board quickly and had it fixed within minutes. The charges were very reasonable for a weekend service. Really happy with this experience and we will hire Currier North for any of our future HVAC needs.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Edward for a second time. My HVAC was blowing air but not cooling it, and I didn't hesitate in calling Edward to come and take a look at it. He's thorough and methodical in his work, but fast too - he had my HVAC diagnosed and cooling again in under an hour. Edward is great - professional, punctual, courteous. I highly recommend him.

Eric was great in following up with me. He was honest enough to ask me to check if the circuit breaker was not tripped. Mike his brother in law who came in to put the replacement part was very knowledgeable and fixed some other minor problems that would have caused future maintenance. Strongly recommend. My advice - do not go with some of those big HVAC names. 3 Brothers is the way to go.

Mahdi installed a new HVAC system in our home. The house is 100 years old and the project was challenging. Mahdi was always able to find solutions and overcome obstacles. He gave us a very good quote and was able to complete the project within the original estimate. Always pleasure to communicate.

I had a newer AC unit stop working on me right when it was outside its warranty. The contractor who installed it was absolute trash with whom I had a litany of problems so I tried Modern Air HVAC. I really wish I would have had these guys from the start to do the initial work.
Jeremy/Modern Air came out within 48 hours of my Thumbtack request. Despite attempts to repair the unit he stopped at parts that needed to be special ordered and told me flat out that the unit that was initially installed was some off-brand POS that is essentially built to fail. He was willing to order parts for me to fix it but in the end he told me I'd be saving myself a lot of money and issues down the road to just replace the condenser with something more reliable. I did some research on my own and basically found this all to be true and the price Jeremy/Modern Air quoted me for a new unit was more than reasonable.
Within a week I had a brand new condenser unit, 5 year warranty on everything, and an HVAC guy that not only knew his stuff but was trustworthy, reliable, and did the little things like reply to texts and phone calls and let you know if he was going to be running behind. All things considered it would have been hard to disappoint me based on the first company I had hired, but I really felt like Modern Air HVAC went above and beyond to make sure the job was done right and that I was happy. I highly recommend these guys for any HVAC issues!

The technicians were professional and most importantly had very good knowledge about the HVAC systems. They identified multiple issues with the AC and had to come back to fix it the next day due to replacement parts.

I can't recommend Mike highly enough. Mike Kikpatrick is old school. He is courteous, fair, thorough and very down to earth. His bid was the second lowest of the six I received, but close enough to the lowest that I hired him because I trusted and liked him as a person. I had two complete AC systems installed (both the outside compressor and the inside air handler). He always showed up within 5 minutes of when he said he would. If he was any later than that (once a supplier was out of what he needed so he had to go to a second supplier), he called or emailed to update me on his ETA. He did not take any shortcuts. When there were a couple parts that needed replacing, he didn't charge extra for them. When he ran into a couple surprises and things took longer than he expected, he kept at it and didn't charge extra. He charges for the job. He was flexible when I wanted him to do additional work. He personally supervises or does all the work himself. He has decades of experience and knows what he's doing. He gives good advice, but is open to your suggestions. He doesn't try to talk you into things you don't need. He's very responsible, trustworthy and respectful of your property. I plan to use him for service and any future HVAC needs. I can't think of a single thing he could have done any better.

A few weeks ago I submitted a request on Thumbtack for someone to install a home humidifier to my furnace. Tim responded to my request within an hour. He had me take photos of my card set up and gave me options are which Aprilaire models he could install. On the day of the job Tim was punctual, very thorough, and extremely professional from start to finish. I was happy to have found him and Will definitely use him for amy and all HVAC related jobs, in my home. Tim’s a super cool guy and I would definitely recommend him to anyone

Over the past 3 months, I have dealt with many contractors due to the rough winter, none as professional and efficient as Val. I wanted a high efficiency, ductless Mitsubishi air conditioner and Vals price was more than 20% less expensive than everyone else. He provided the unit and conducted the install. He was in and out in no time. He worked closely with my electrician and even he had very good things to say about Val. I would definitely recommend contacting him about one of these units, or any HVAC needs you may have!

Very pleased with the work done by Martin.
I would recommend his services to anyone in need of HVAC repair. He worked quickly and was very thorough explaining the work he did.
I would say to take into consideration his flat rate versus a per hour quote. The job he did for us took nearly 4 hours and with that in mind we felt we were billed honestly and fairly.
We would seek his services again, no question and recommend him to friends and family.

The team came on-time and explained me what they are doing. They verified the HVAC Unit and started the work. The total work took ~2 hours and they are very professional. I recommend them for Duct Cleaning service.

Mario was very professional and timely. I was very happy with the ventilation work he did for me as he came in and was done in no time. Everything looks clean and very well done. I also had Mario come in to look at a central air condenser and his pricing was more than fair. I would recommend Mario for any future HVAC jobs you may have.

He was great! We called him in the morning, and he came to our home same day in the evening to check out our broken air conditioner! Amazing service, very punctual, great value for the amount charged to us for his services. Turn around time was 1 day! I will definitely be using him for all of my future electrician needs around the house!

I was looking for an HVAC pro to do periodic maintenance for a few A/Cs, commercial roof-top type. B&N showed up at promised times and serviced the units expertly. Robert (the tech.) also correctly diagnosed and repaired a few problems which defied attempts by prior guys. I am glad to have found a new go-to guy for HVAC - highly recommended!

Ryan fixed my oil fired furnace last winter and regularly does the up keep on my AC system and he’s a very trustworthy and hard working young man.

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

What is an HVAC system?

The letters in HVAC stand for heating, ventilation and air conditioning. An HVAC system enables you to regulate your home or building’s internal temperature (thermal control) for comfortable living and working. You can bring heat levels down in the summer and up in the winter, keeping your home or office livable year-round. HVAC systems can also help with humidity levels and regulate indoor air quality in a home or office. There are many types of HVAC systems and technologies available.

Many homes have a forced-air HVAC system. Both the heating and the central air conditioning units share a ductwork system where they either push in or pull out warm or cooled air. There are also heating and cooling systems that don’t require ductwork — such as ductless mini-splits — but work on the same principles of heat exchange. The national average to hire an HVAC specialist is $2,920-$3,670, with costs varying depending on the work you need done and the equipment you are installing.

How many years does HVAC last?

The number of years an HVAC system lasts depend on the type and brand of components that make up your system. The lifespan of an air conditioner averages between 15 and 20 years. The life expectancy of a tankless water heater is approximately 20 years, while a storage water heater is closer to 10-15 years. Ducts may need replacing within 10-15 years. Your equipment will have a longer life if you have regular tuneups and maintenance to keep everything in good working order. If you’re having repair problems and your HVAC system is over 10 years old, it’s a good time to consider the costs and benefits of repairing vs. replacing. Energystar.gov provides the following tips to help you decide whether to repair or replace:

Replacing your system with an Energy Star-certified unit could save up to 20 percent on your heating and cooling bills.

Your furnace or boiler is more than 15 years old.

You may choose to replace your system with an Energy Star-certified furnace (which is 15 percent more efficient than a conventional furnace) or an Energy Star-certified boiler (which is 5 percent more efficient).

Your home has humidity problems.

Your home has excessive dust.

Leaky ducts can pull particles and air from attics, crawl spaces and basements and distribute them throughout your house. Sealing your ducts may be a solution.

Your heating or cooling system is noisy.

You could have an undersized duct system or a problem with the indoor coil of your cooling equipment.

That means your home energy use is above average and you're probably paying too much for your utilities.

How much does it cost to get central air?

Prices for central-air HVAC systems will vary. The national average to hire an HVAC specialist is $2,920-$3,670 but can run as high as $5,000 or even $12,000 depending on the capacity you need and other factors. Installing central air conditioning requires an entire system that works together to draw hot air out of your home. The system includes an outdoor unit, which houses the condenser and compressor, and the evaporator coils. If you don’t have an existing duct system, ductwork will need to be installed, which will affect labor and material costs. Leaking or damaged ducts will also need to be replaced.

How much does it cost for a new air conditioning unit?

If you’re ready for a new air conditioning unit, it’s time to start exploring HVAC prices. The price will vary depending on the type of air conditioner you buy and its cooling capacity. Window units, which require minimal installation, are one of the most affordable options on the market. If you’re purchasing from a big-box store, you can expect to pay approximately $120-$1,000 for a window unit. Window units are appealing for their quick setup and relatively low cost, but they can use more energy over time than central air and only cool the room in which they’re installed. Portable air conditioners don’t have the cooling power of a window unit, but they do have the perk of being transportable from room to room. Expect to pay between $225 and $800 for a portable air conditioner, on average. For a whole-house air conditioning system with coils, condenser and line (not including installation or ductwork), the cost from a big-box store can range from approximately $2,000 to $4,000 or more. If you don’t have (and don’t want to put in) ducts, a ductless mini-split air conditioner is a good option, although pricey up front. Pricing can range from $650 to $4,250 per unit on average; you’ll need one unit for each room in which you want temperature control.
